Stern Perch seats make older sailboats like new!
One of the biggest complaints among owners of pre-1993 sailboats is the absence of the popular stern rail seats. Now you can add them to many of the older model boats! They're custom designed for a sure fit, yet easily removed for racing or towing.
Made from 1/2" marine-grade polymer, our stern rail seats are easy to install (no tools are required). When installed, the seat attaches to the lower stern rail and lies inboard of it. (An upper and lower stern rail configuration is required. If you don't have two rails an optional rail kit can be ordered. Call to inquire.) The seats are supported from the stern pulpit as well as a leg which rests on the deck, coaming, or cockpit of the boat (location varies depending on boat design). The entire seat is designed to tilt up for access to hatches or other deck fittings if necessary. Recommended weight limit is 250 lbs. per seat.
We've sold a great number of the seats and owners have been quite happy with them. But if you're not sure, try 'em out - they come with a 30 day guarantee.
Each set includes built-in drink holders, too! And, if you are interested in seat cushions, they can be custom made by BottomSiders for approximately $130.00-$150.00 a pair. We'll confirm pricing once we evaluate your template. Contact us for templating instructions and specific price quote. Also consider Rail Back Cushions to add comfort for your back when leaning against the stern rail.
Please note: If you don't see your boat contact us for other options.

"The seats are very nicely shaped and were easily attached to the stern rails. The third attachment (pole and base) was designed to be bolted through the cockpit coming. Rather than put additional holes in my deck, I countersunk holes in the seat and mounted the base underneath the seat. This worked very well and allows the seats to be easily removed with no remaining hardware attached to the boat. We have a bimini and the poles supporting the bimini fold back over where the seats are positioned. This effectively means that the seats cannot be fully used with the bimini down. However, with the bimini up they are the best seats on the boat. A very nice addition for a very small amount of money and effort. I would also recommend buying the rail cushions from Sternpearch. These provide a soft backrest and really make the seats comfortable. "
